The Smithy’s VFL teams for Round 14.

The Sydney Swans have named a powerful line-up to host Sandringham at Blacktown International Sports Park, with eight AFL-listed players brought into the side.

Former skipper Dane Rampe will make his comeback from injury in what will be his first VFL game since representing Williamstown back in 2011. Young ruck Will Green will play his first game of the season, while Hayden McLean, Lewis Melican, Matt Roberts and Corey Warner are among the other notable inclusions for the Swans.

Mitch Podhajski will line-up for Collingwood against Richmond at La Trobe University after playing the past two matches in the AFL team. The key forward is joined in the Magpies' line-up by skipper Brady Grey and defender Ben De Bolfo.

Richmond welcomes back Hugo Ralphsmith after serving a suspension, with Luke Trainor, Tyler Sonsie and Liam Fawcett also included in the Tigers' line-up.

Meanwhile, Rhyan Mansell has made an immediate return to the AFL team after kicking three goals in last week's loss to North Melbourne in his return from a long injury layoff.

Box Hill regains ruck Jaime Uhr-Henry and young gun Cameron Nairn for its top-six clash against the GWS Giants at Box Hill City Oval.

However, the Hawks will be without promoted duo Calsher Dear and Jack Dalton, while ball magnet Finn Maginness and defender James Blanck will miss through injury.

Harry Oliver has been promoted to the Giants' AFL side, while Logan Smith will play his first game of the year.

Lachie Fogarty returns to Carlton's line-up along with Darcy Tucker as the Blues aim to arrest their form slump against third-placed Werribee at IKON Park.

The Bees have been stung by injury, with Harry Grintell and Jake Smith both set to be sidelined for the next month, however Lachie Charleson returns after missing the win over Brisbane prior to the bye.

Southport's injury woes have worsened, with Sam Lowson suffering a second ACL tear in as many years, while Ryan Burton will be sidelined for the next month with a knee injury of his own.

In better news for the Sharks, Max Pescud returns to take on Williamstown at Fankhauser Reserve. The Seagulls regain Aiden Bonar.

Tom Powell makes another comeback from injury when North Melbourne hosts Essendon at Arden Street Oval.

Powell reinjured his groin in his first attempt at a comeback when he lined up for the Roos' VFL side in the Round 8 loss to Port Melbourne.

The Bombers have included six AFL-listed players for Sunday's clash, including Elijah Tsatas, Matt Guelfi and Nik Cox.

Port Melbourne has included forwards Roy George and Archi Manton to face the Gold Coast Suns at ETU Stadium on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Suns have named former skipper James Tsitas for his first VFL game of the year, alongside fellow former AFL-listed midfielder Hugh Greenwood.

Earlier, the Brisbane Lions welcome back much-needed reinforcements for their clash with Tasmania at Brighton Homes Arena on Friday.

Henry Smith, Luke Beecken, Reece Torrent and Shadeau Brain all return for the bottom-placed Lions as they desperately hunt their second win of the season.

Smith will play his first game of the year, having been sidelined by a foot issue, while Reece Torrent will play his first game since the Round 8 loss to Geelong when he sustained an ankle injury.

Beecken missed his first game of the year in the brave defeat to Werribee prior to last week’s bye, while Brain has featured at AFL level over the past two weeks.

Tasmania has included veteran forward Sam Siggins, who has booted 16 goals in nine appearances this year.

Teams for all other Round 14 matches will be announced on Friday.
